Went to the peri today and it was awesome!
They did a fetal fibronectin test that gives you your chances of delivering within 2 weeks. There's a protein in your uterus that acts as the glue during pregnancy and as a women nears her due date the protein becomes present in her va-j-j. A negative result means there is less than a 3% chance of delivery within 2 weeks. I will get the results from that test this afternoon.
Dr. Steele answered all of my questions, throroughly- she was so great!
They also did a cervical scan and my cervix is now measuring 3.32!!!!! Up from 2.4. She said that is a rather normal looking cervix, although there is still some funneling when pressure is applied, so although normal, it's a little "weak." But the good news is that I can get up every once in awhile and I am also allowed to sit upright more often! I'll take it! I hugged Dr. Steele when she said I could sit at the sewing machine a limited amount!
I also got the results from my glucose test and I'm all good!!! Normal levels are 70-140 and I was a mere 85- YESSSSS!
So, all is good today! I have a growth ultrasound on the 22nd with the peri, where she will take a close look at both the babies and check Harrison's kidney again.

Angie,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to here the apointment went well and that you got all of your questions answeared. My mom had an apointment with the nutritionist today and I went along. We talked alot about feeling neauseus for both of us and got a few pointers plus some anti-neausea meds for Mom. Dad watched the store this afternoon so Mom and I could both take a nap, he is so funny. Well let me know the results of the test, even though I know it will be fine.
